According to a late London Mr. Dillon, the Irish leader, finds late in the fieid with his oppesition to the appointment ofa new commission to examine into the financia} relations exist- ing between Great Britain and Ireland. The despatch adds: If an amendment despatch, too | | regar ding the subject had been moved to the address in reply to the Queen’s speech, the debate must have elicited from the ffovernment some idea of the intentions as to the scope of the commission and_its probable com position The Opposition would thus have obtained some informa tion enabling them to take a definite line of attack against the Governments’s pro- posels. As it is, the echeme of the Cabinet has been allowed to be matured in the dark, and its discussion has only been accorded when the Government could not help it, that is on the Cabinet's proposals being House of Commons. There was something akin to folly in Mr. Dillon asking Mr. Balfour, the Government leader in the House, whether he would permit the House to discuss the whole subj-ct before the actual appoiotment of the commis four had no power to pre- placed before the son Mr. Bal scussion, and therefore, gave reaay clLtO as D&ive a request as was ever put to a Minister, The scope of the refer= ence has Leen prepared by Sir Michael Hicke-Beach, Ubancellor of the Exchequer, George J. Goschen, First Lord of the © Admiralty, and Sir FP. Mowat, permanent Secretary of the Treasury. The Commission wil! be syed to deal with a much wider range of juiry than was the commission of 1893 Its woik will certainly last more than iwo years, and before the final report can be made to the House the Government wil | ee dto connect the com™is- on’s fi di ng with the their Ie ish palicy—the I seat Goverpment of Ireland Bill and Redistribution of Seats the latter of which will deprive Ire Bill, land of some thirty seats in the Imperi al The pereounel of the } venta asse emp -Ope stone of Parliament con ~ mission is, of course, largely Unionist, with some financial experts, whom the Conservative papers may cal! in lepe ndent and impartial, but who are of the Sir David Barbour type. Sir David, who was @ member of the Isst commission, dif fered from a majority of his colleagues in contending that if there was 2 grievance in Irish taxation it was due to the fact that the taxation upon the articles of common con- sumption fel] more heavily on the poor than on the ricb, a grievance which thev shared with the poorer classes of Great Britain. ihe Government at first intended to have only seven members constitute the com- mission. Urgent represertations from the Irish landlords, from the great brewers and other interests, will induee them to enlarge ithe membership.. The brewers, who have great influence among the Unionists and contribute largely to the party purse, fear thatthe suggested in- crease in the duty on beer to balance a possible reduction in the may find support duty on whisker, in th? commission. It beer was taxed according toits spirif value, the duty, instead of being, as at present, 2id.per gallon, wouid be about ls. 4d. The [rich contention i: that beer is unduly favored. Equalization would be a severe blow to the English beer drinkers but would be a questionable boon to tbe Irish whiskey drinkers.
